> なぜ死なしてしもたか、人生を狂る **わせ** たのか

Does this sentence contain typo? I guess 狂るわせ should be 狂わせ.

What do you guys think?

What does わせ in this sentence mean?


It would be regarded as a typo if interpreted as standard contemporary
Japanese. However, the usage of okurigana was not standardized 100 years ago
as it is today, and you would frequently encounter such eye-catching usages of
okurigana when reading old novels. So, if this is a quote from a novel written
100 years ago, for example, I would probably regard 狂るわせた as a kanji usage
that was acceptable for that time.
